Think not what your Tory can do for you...
David Cameron has decided that choosing to volunteer might not be enough to help out young people. He's proposing the idea of a national service (though without the fun stuff like guns) of community action. After all, if you strip away all funding for local government who else is gonna clean the canal apart from a bunch of young people desperate for an extra-cirricular activity to give their degree some kind of value?
Of course the big question is - if you take the voluntary out of volunteering what's do you call yourself? A compulseer? A peace-core? A slave?
